SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT

NEW MEMBERS 2025

BUFFALO RIDGE BUILDERS, LLC

763-691-3272

www.buffaloridgebuildersmn.com


Nick Tubbs is going big or going home! The owner of NT Woodworks has started a second business in new home construction! What's nice, as the sole owner, is that you have one point of contact from design to field operations all the way to closing.


Nick has been in the building and trades industry for over 10 years as a finished carpenter. This means that you will have the ultimate quality in craftsmanship in each home. He listens to the customer, builds to their needs, sticks to the timeline and the budget.


Nick aims to provide superb project management, excellent craftsmanship and superior customer service. If you know someone looking to build, give Nick a call!

CHAMBER EVENTS

CHAMBER BANQUET/RUN FOR THE ROSES A BIG SUCCESS - THANKS TO YOU!!


What great costumes, great fun, and great monies raised for the Chamber. This event is always big and loud, but with colorful costumes and wild hats - it was larger than life. Thank you to all the sponsors, to Bison Creek for hosting, to those of you who played the games/enjoyed the auction, to Bee Strong Blossoms for our centerpieces and to our crazy Magnificent 7 planning committee (last photo).

We thanked Jackie Crever/Farmer's Insurance for chairing the Chamber Board this year. She will stay on as Past Chair for a year, and hopefully a year or two more:) I appreciate all my Board members as great businesspeople, great humans and great Chamber supporters.

We welcome Dr. Quintana White from HealthSource Chiropractic and Tom Olson from North Start Pro Realty to our Board.

COME SUPPORT BUFFALO STRONG TODAY!


Thank you Culver's, for always supporting our community!

CORTRUST DONATED OVER $17,000 WITH JEANS DAY PROGRAM


Because of CorTrust's commitment to giving back to the community, a charitable giving initiative was created in 2023. It's called CorTrust Cares Jeans Day and offers a centralized way for each CorTrust market to uplift worthwhile causes. In exchange for the financial gift each month, CorTrust employees can wear jeans on Friday. To date they have donated over $38,000 to organization such as the Alzheimer's Association, Dress for Success, the Salvation Army, Sharing and Caring Hands and more! It's great to have a local bank give back!!

POLAR PLUNGE NEEDS MORE JUMPERS!
